Google tries to convince judge to keep Chrome browser – Techzine Europe
Google LLC has proposed imposing restrictions on its search partnerships to resolve antitrust violations in its search business. This proposal is an alternative to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) proposal to sell the Chrome browser.
Lee-Anne Mulholland, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at Google, explained the proposal Friday. It followed a U.S. District Court ruling in August, which ruled that Google has an illegal monopoly on search engines and search advertising.
Last month, the DOJ and a group of states that brought the case proposed forcing Google to sell the Chrome browser. They also want Google to stop exclusive search agreements with companies such as Apple and to open its search results to competing search engines. In addition, they are demanding that Google spin off its Android operating system.
Mulholland criticized the DOJ’s proposal as “interference” beyond the court’s ruling. She argued that the proposal would harm consumers and undermine the U.S. technological edge because it would force Google to share user data with competitors. This, she says, would limit Google’s ability to innovate and improve search algorithms.
In her counterproposal, Mulholland suggests that Google should be allowed to retain partnerships such as with Apple, but on a non-exclusive basis. Also, Android manufacturers should be given more flexibility to pre-install multiple search engines, making Google stop mandating the installation of apps such as Google Search and Chrome.
Competing search engines such as Bing (Microsoft), DuckDuckGo and Qwant would benefit greatly from a possible sale of Chrome. However, how any breakup would play out is still unclear.
Judge Amit Mehta has scheduled an April hearing where both sides may present their proposals. A final decision is expected in August. Meanwhile, Google has announced it will appeal the original ruling, which could potentially delay the resolution for years.

Preaching to the broken-hearted: New Philadelphia man forms group to help fellow vets – Times Reporter
NEW PHILADELPHIA ‒ Army veteran Shawn Patterson knew it was time to turn his life around when he woke up in the driveway of his New Philadelphia home in May 2020, with five police officers on top of him.
Patterson, who served two tours of duty in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, had gone out drinking with a buddy that night. He was in a dark place in his life at that time. He got drunk at a bar and made a scene. His buddy then drove him home. When he got there, he picked a fight with his friend. Patterson got knocked down and then passed out. When he awoke, the officers were on top of him.
The transition from the military to civilian life had been a difficult one for Patterson.
“There was a lot of anger I had when I came home,” he said. “You hear that quite a lot in the veteran community. Depression and isolation set in, just that whole transition from military to civilian life. Not a fun time in my life. I’ve got two failed marriages.
“Loss of identity and purpose, that’s the key. A lot of veterans feel that way when they get out because you’re no longer a soldier. In my case, I was no longer a soldier, and I was no longer a father. I lost visitation of my kids. I completely lost who I was.
“Alcohol was a big thing in my life at that time because of not being able to see my kids. I completely lost my identity. That was my rock bottom. That’s when I realized that there’s more to this whole God thing than I know. So, I started getting involved in church. My wife at the time and I started to go to LifeWay (church in New Philadelphia).”
Patterson then began to take his life in a new direction. He stopped drinking. He has been sober since May 2021. And then he began volunteering, which led him to establish The Redeemed 22 organization, which aims to help area veterans.
“That’s one thing I always convey to veterans I talk to is volunteer work, because there’s so much power in helping others. That really in turn comes back and helps you. You just get connected to other people. You’re not alone. Other people out there are struggling in life. We all need help,” Patterson said.
“It’s only through connecting with others that we can really see our purpose in life. God has created us to be in connection with one another, not to be in isolation, not to separate ourselves. I really truly believe that who we are in this world is not just to enjoy life but also to help others. That’s what we’re here to do is just to make this world better for the next generation.”
Patterson, a 2003 New Philadelphia High School graduate, joined the Army in 2004.
His first overseas deployment was in Afghanistan from March to November 2006. His unit was sent to an area that had previously been controlled by the Taliban, being stationed in a makeshift camp with no bathrooms and no showers at first. It was hit by mortar fire three or four days a week for the first three weeks they were there.
“At times like that, that’s when you really build the comradery, the brotherhood. You become so strong because you have to rely on your brothers and sisters next to you for everything,” Patterson said.
He was sent to Baghdad, Iraq, in November 2007 and was there for 15 months. He was part of a platoon that ran resupply missions. He was also a truck commander in charge of a truck.
“A couple of months into that deployment, one of my best friends got hit with an EFP (Explosively Formed Projectile). It was within a mile of our base. At the time I was running EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) escort for missions. We were on call 24/7. So, we got called out after my buddy got hit. Just seeing the aftermath of that. There were enemy combatants down,” he said.
His buddy lost both of his legs in the attack.
His third overseas deployment was to western Iraq in July 2010.
After he got out of the service in 2012, he struggled to adapt to his new life. He was part of the Veterans Administration system, but he said he relied on alcohol to get himself through.
Once he made the commitment to better his life, Patterson got involved in Celebrate Recovery at LifeWay Church and Authentic Church in New Philadelphia. The program helps people with their addiction to drugs and alcohol, gambling and pornography.
“It’s just a place that made it safe for people to talk about their stuff,” he said, adding that the program has helped him greatly.
He also began volunteering, including Empower Tusc’s suicide prevention program. “He’s a phenomenal volunteer for us,” said Terri Miller, chair of the Empower Tusc Suicide Prevention Committee. She added that Patterson is a hands-on volunteer who does whatever is needed.
Eventually he formed The Redeemed 22 to help veterans in Tuscarawas County with post-traumatic stress. The number 22 is significant because it represents the number of U.S. veterans on average who take their life each day.
“I had always felt like God was calling me to do more. I’ve always been a believer in God. I just didn’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ. When I started getting back into church and started getting more involved, I had a revelation. God showed me Isaiah 61, where it states, ‘We’re called to preach to the broken hearted,'” he said.
Through his group, he connects veterans he talks to with organizations that can provide them help. He sponsored a Veterans Resource Fair at New Towne Mall in New Philadelphia in November to provide veterans with health services, job opportunities and educational programs. He is working with Empower Tusc to create a Veterans Ad Hoc Committee to help veterans.
Patterson is also advocating for creation of a Tuscarawas County veterans treatment court, similar to one in Stark County. It would take veterans who are facing low-level or mid-level felony charges and put them in a mentorship program instead of jail. Each veteran would be paired with a veteran mentor and connected to resources they would need to find housing or a job and receive VA healthcare.
“There is a problem that we definitely need to tackle. I believe that the only way to do that is connection with others, getting in touch with your spirituality. Some veterans are really bullheaded with the things that we’ve seen, things that we’ve done and things that we’ve said. In the veteran community it’s hard to believe that there is a God, but I’ve come to realize that he was there in all of that, even in all of the pure evil that comes with war. He was there,” Patterson said.

Bill Maher HBO comedy special ‘Is Anyone Else Seeing This?’ coming in January – newsradioklbj.com
Bill Maher has a new comedy special coming to HBO next year. Per Variety, Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This? will premiere in January, marking Maher’s 13th stand-up comedy special for HBO.
Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This? will be taped in front of a live audience at the CIBC Theater in Chicago, and apparently comes with a content warning. Said Maher: “I almost called this special ‘You Won’t Feel Safe’, because if you’re purely a team player in American politics, you won’t. This one is for the 80 percent of Americans who want to see crazy called out no matter where it comes from. And the last twenty minutes on my sex life, that’s for everybody.”
Maher released his first comedy special for HBO in 1989 and dropped his most recent special, #Adulting, in 2022. He has also hosted the HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher since 2003. HBO EVP of late night & specials programming Nina Rosenstein said in a statement: “Bill’s comedic commentary has been an extraordinary part of HBO for 12 specials and 22 seasons of Real Time with Bill Maher. We truly value his steadfast commitment to honesty and humor, which we know will be front and center in his next special.”
A new episode of Real Time with Bill Maher will air Friday at 10 p.m. EST on HBO, featuring actor and producer Michael Douglas, along with journalist John Heilemann and attorney Sarah Isgur.

Latimer AI startup to launch bias detection tool for web browsers – Business Insider
Bias is in the eye of the beholder, yet it’s increasingly being evaluated by AI. Latimer AI, a startup that’s building AI tools on a repository of Black datasets, plans to launch a bias detection tool as a Chrome browser extension in January.
The company anticipates the product could be used by people who run official social media accounts, or anyone who wants to be mindful of their tone online, Latimer CEO John Pasmore told Business Insider.
“When we test Latimer against other applications, we take a query and score the response. So we’ll score our response, we’ll score ChatGPT or Claude’s response, against the same query and see who scores better from a bias perspective,” Pasmore said. “It’s using our internal algorithm to not just score text, but then correct it.”
The tool assigns a score from one through 10 to text, with 10 being extremely biased.
Patterns of where bias is found online, are already emerging from beta testing of the product.
For instance, text from an April post by Elon Musk, in which he apologized for calling Dustin Moskowitz a derogatory name, was compared to an August post from Bluesky CEO Jay Graber.
Musks’ post scored 6.8 out of 10, or “High Bias,” while Graber’s scored 3.6 out of 10, or “Low Bias”.
Latimer’s technology proposed a “fix” to the text in Musk’s post by changing it to the following: “I apologize to Dustin Moskowitz for my previous inappropriate comment. It was wrong. What I intended to express is that I find his attitude to be overly self-important. I hope we can move past this and potentially become friends in the future.”
While what is deemed biased is subjective, Latimer isn’t alone in trying to tackle this challenge through technology. The LA Times plans to display a “bias meter” in 2025, for instance.
Latimer hopes its bias tool will draw in more users.
“This will help us identify a different set of users who might not use a large language model, but might use a browser extension,” Pasmore said.
The bias detector will launch at $1 a month, and a pro version will let users access multiple bias detection algorithms.

Simple, Sensible Advice for Raising Virtuous Kids – EducationNext
Frederick Hess
This week, we’ll be lighting the menorah a couple feet from the Christmas tree. Only in America.
Contemplating such moments always leaves me amazed by such blessings and how they have come by a combination of luck and hard-earned wisdom. In this instance, it brought to mind a slender book I had a chance to read earlier this fall.
Author Jeff Nelligan penned Four Lessons from My Three Sons to share his experiences trying to teach his kids “the basic universal virtues—civility, confidence, resilience and ambition.” You can’t get any more old school than that. It’s a book about parenting, but pretty much the whole of it applies equally to teaching and mentoring.
This is simple, sensible stuff. It feels to me like we don’t spend enough time nowadays on the simple, sensible stuff. We should spend more. Readers won’t find much that’s surprising, but they’ll find good sense, encouragement, and some useful nuggets.
Nelligan starts with a simple but oft-confounding question: “How do you get a kid to pay attention?” Schools pay experts and professional trainers a lot of money for answers to that question. But I suspect Nelligan’s pithy advice may frequently prove more useful.
Recognizing that kids are going to roll their eyes at parental lectures, Nelligan suggests pointing out specific examples of good and bad behavior as we see them unfold in real time. He tells of one such experience while leaving a football field with his boys. They watched one of the players walk off, with his dad carrying his equipment bag and his mom carrying his helmet, while the boy walked “ten feet ahead . . . texting furiously on a cell phone.” Nelligan’s advice to his kids? “Don’t ever be like that jackass.”
In an era when sensitivity to feelings may leave some parents hesitant to be this blunt, Nelligan reminds us that life requires us to constantly make judgments, big and small. He urges parents (and teachers) to accept that and then be present, principled, and clear in those judgments. Indeed, he argues that the basics of good conduct are simple. As he puts it, “There’s no intellect necessary in looking into someone’s eyes when you speak with them. There’s no expertise needed in shaking hands with an adult and saying Mr., Mrs., or Ms. . . . These are the easiest, simplest tasks there are.”
When encouraging his kids to be aware of the world around them, Nelligan drills them with questions. I’ve been known to do something similar, and I quite liked his suggestions: “How many people in this grocery store do you see wearing college sweatshirts? How many people are working as waiters in this restaurant? How many out-of-state license plates do you see in this parking lot?”
Get the latest from Rick, delivered straight to your inbox.
Nelligan describes seizing opportunities to reinforce fundamental principles. Like me, he’s a big believer in timeliness—and that anything other than a respect for punctuality suggests to others that your time is more valuable than theirs. (My kids have heard me give this little homily many times. Maybe that’s why Nelligan’s take on this gave me a chuckle.) He tells of a time a family showed up disruptively late to a school event. Afterward, the family meandered over to him, with the father explaining, “We were late getting here because we’re always so damn busy.” Nelligan’s response, in front of his sons? “Yeah, I hear you. Good thing the Nelligans are never busy.”
There are sensible tips to building a kid’s self-assurance and sense of competence. When his boys were little, Nelligan would tell them: “You guys are small so if you get lost somewhere in a bunch of people, look for that guy with a stripe running down their pants. That’s a policeman or a solider and they’ll help you out.” When his five-year-old got lost at a mall, he stared at legs until he found a mall security officer.
The volume is hit-or-miss. Some anecdotes fall flat. But it’s an engaging, provocative contribution. As Nelligan puts it, he wrote this book “with an edge because after 20 years in Parent World, I know that parenting in this increasingly erratic and questionable culture demands hard and direct truths, not soft-pedalled equivocation.”
That’s a pretty fair summation of both the book and the need for an old-school approach to education.
Wishing all of you a merry Christmas, a happy Chanukah, and a terrific 2025.

Study finds critical relationship between stem cells, mechanical signals – The Tribune India
Toronto [Canada], December 2 (ANI): A new study by The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the Institut Curie demonstrates how stem cells sense and adapt to their surroundings, with implications for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer.
Stem cells constantly adapt to their environment to maintain organ and tissue health, informed by chemical signals and physical forces. When they do not function as intended, stem cells can result in a number of health conditions including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal (bowel) cancer, where they continue to divide until a tumour forms.
Until now, how stem cells sense the physical forces around them has remained unclear, but novel findings in Science led by Dr. Meryem Baghdadi, a former SickKids postdoctoral researcher, Dr Tae-Hee Kim at SickKids and Dr. Danijela Vignjevic at Institut Curie, has revealed that stem cells depend on two ion channels, called PIEZO1 and PIEZO2, for their survival.
“The physical properties of the environment around stem cells are crucial to our health,” explains Kim, Senior Scientist in the Developmental and Stem Cell Biology program. “With this knowledge, we can explore ways to promote gastrointestinal regeneration to not only prevent, but repair damaged stem cells.”
In 2018, Dr Xi Huang, Senior Scientist in the Developmental and Stem Cell Biology program at SickKids, found that PIEZO ion channels influence tumour stiffening in brain cancer. Inspired by this research, Kim’s research team set out to explore how stem cells in the intestines use PIEZO channels to stay healthy and function properly.
In a preclinical model, the study team knocked out (turned off) PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 in the intestines. The results were dramatic: in the absence of both PIEZO channels, the stem cells couldn’t maintain their necessary functions, leading to severe illness and rapid death. Although these PIEZO channels were previously known to have distinct functions, this study has revealed their unexpected redundancy in stem cell maintenance.
The Kim and Vignjevic labs identified that PIEZO ion channels were helping stem cells feel physical changes in their surroundings, like how stiff or stretchy the environment is. Without these channels, there was an imbalance in two critical signalling pathways, causing the stem cells to miss important changes in their environment and improperly differentiate.
“When PIEZO channels are missing, stem cells can’t stay stem cells. Instead, they turn into other cell types too quickly, leading to serious health problems,” says Baghdadi.
The discovery has significant implications for human health, particularly for conditions with abnormal stem cell activity such as IBD, one of the fastest-growing conditions in Canada, and bowel cancer, the third most common cancer in the country.
“More and more we are finding that our cells are more than just biology, there are chemical and mechanical signals which are driving cell activity,” says Kim. “How and why our body responds to these signals will open up new doors of research not just for gut health, but for every aspect of human health.” (ANI)

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
